So, DC will finally be bringing an ongoing Batman/Superman series to the New 52, and with a great creative team consisting of Greg Pak and Jae Lee. With this news, I thought I'd take the time to reflect on why Batman and Superman are not only my two favorite characters in comics, but why World's Finest is probably my favorite bromance in any medium. I just love how as different as they are, Batman and Superman play off each other's personalities better than anything we've seen in any buddy-cop movie.

First of all, the most famous aspect of the Batman/Superman team up is the dichotomy between the two. You have Superman, who's one of the most powerful beings in the DC Universe, and then you have Batman, who has no powers whatsoever. But the best part of this relationship is how the contrasts between the two aren't just in their set of skills, but also their personalities and secret identities. While Bruce Wayne is a suave playboy billionaire, Clark Kent is a clumsy and shy reporter from Kansas. Furthermore, these are two superheroes who are unlike most others in that they "wear a mask" in their everyday lives. Batman is the "real guy" who pretends to be the lady-killing Bruce Wayne by day, while Superman puts on his thick glasses and slumps his shoulders as he shows up late for work so nobody suspects him.

Next, you have the different approaches these two have to fighting crime. Batman is all about striking fear in the hearts of criminals while Superman wants to use his abilities to benefit humanity. I think Superman summed this up best in a recent issue of Justice League when he said, "I'd rather good people trust me than badpeople fear me." But the difference go beyond their actual methods. Just look at the costume designs. Batman hides his face and cloaks himself in a black cape so he can hide in the shadows. Superman, on the other hand, is the complete opposite. Most people would be scarred and intimidated by a being of such great power, so Superman needs people to trust him. He shows his face, wears a bright blue suit and red cape as a way of saying "Here I am, I'm not her to sneak up on you." The best part of their methods is when they work together and try to combine the two styles of crime-fighting, often to awesome results.

The best part of this relationship is that, even with all these differences, Superman and Batman are still friends (Yes, friends. I know they fought a couple times, but they're still friends). They've had so many witty back-and-forths that I'd never be able to list them, but their friendship goes beyond that. They work together outside of the Justice League. They trust each other. When Superman got a hold of Lex Luthor's kryptonite ring, he gave it to Batman because Batman is the only person who Superman can trust with his life. And, of course, let's not forget about that one time these two had to share a bed.

Where do you think Batman got that kryptonite from?

So there's just a few of the reason's why I'm always excited when Batman and Superman team up. With Greg Pak and Jae Lee working on this new series, I'm sure I'll soon have a new addition to my pull list. But this is just my opinion. I'd love to know some of the reasons why you like the Batman/Superman relationship, or the reason why you don't.

So apparently the Justice League roster will consist of five members in Warner Bros.' upcoming film adaptation, according to a report by Lation-Review. The team will have Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern and Flash. While I'm just as disappointed as the next person that we won't be seeing a big screen version of Aquaman or Martian Manhunter, I feel as though this five person roster makes sense. Here are four good reasons why a smaller JLA is a good idea.

1 - This will be our introduction to these characters

Unlike Marvel's cinematic universe, this "team up" movie will be the first in the series (save for the possibility of Man of Steel). Warner Bros.' doesn't have the benefit of multiple movies that introduce us to each individual character, and because of this, a smaller cast is better. You don't want to present audiences to 7+ different superheros at once, that'll only lead to people being confused and the plot will be harder to understand. Five main characters can easily be followed, and ample time can be spent on each hero within the time frame of the film.

2 - These are DC's top five

Walk up to any person, even if they've never read a comic book in their life, and ask them to name five DC characters. I can pretty much guarantee you they'll name Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern and Flash. As much as comic book fans like myself would love to see the likes of Zatanna and Booster Gold, most moviegoers aren't familiar with these characters. These same moviegoers are much more likely to see a film with characters they already know about. Also, it's always a good idea to make a superhero movie more accessible, and you can't get more accessible than these five JLA members.

3 - Easy Origins

Everyone knows Superman's and Batman's origin stories. The 2011 Green Lantern movie already introduced mainstream audiences to Hal Jordan's story about how he got his power ring. The Flash's origin, while not widely known, is simple enough (guy gets dosed in chemicals and struck by lightning, giving him super speed) to dedicate just a few minutes of the movie to, and I feel most audiences will be able to easily understand it. Wonder Woman on the other hand might take a little more time. Maybe the first scene shows Steve Trevor landing on Themyscira, or maybe they can just forgo Wonder Woman's origin entirely. After all, Wonder Woman is such a popular and widely known superhero that the movie doesn't have to waste time about how the warrior princess came to prominence.

4 - Room for expansion

Who ever said more members can't join down the line? We can always see other heroes show up in the Justice League sequel (assuming there is one). Adding members slowly, rather than all a once, will make the film series easier to follow for everyone. Also, this will give each Justice League member a proper introduction and more time can be spent on each. Not to mention that Warner Bros. is going to need as much time as possible to show mainstream audiences that Aquaman actually is pretty bad-ass.
